Stick Jammer,
I get close to 175 feet.
But I took me gear to my friends home and he took them to work.
I had the Receivers retuned and the transmitters peaked up.
One was only putting out 180 mils.
Now All put out the full 3/4 watt into a 52 ohm resistor.
I have no idea how high I went but I ran the Super Star 40 until it ran out of fuel.
All I could see was a speck.
The engine was an OS 40 with a 10X4 prop.
I sure would like a shot at the alitude record but I need tons of info.
Prop,engine,fuel,wing design,etc but i'm gonna do it
